Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said Sabah needs a state government that is capable of helping to ease the people’s burden in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The prime minister said in this regard, the people of Sabah should choose a government that is aligned with the Perikatan Nasional (PN)-led federal government, which has proven itself in helping the people when the country was grappling with the impact of the coronavirus.

“Sabah’s economy needs to recover fast. I’m not saying Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal has not given anything, but it is not enough because there is no cooperation with the federal government,” he said.

Muhyiddin, who is PN chairman, said this at a gathering with the people here today, which was also attended by Agriculture and Food Industries Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ronald Kiandee and the PN candidate for the Bandau seat, Datuk Wetrom Bahanda.

Sabah will go to the polls on Sept 26.
